Shane Ross
Ceist:382 Deputy Shane Ross asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Ombudsman’s investigation into the South Dublin County Council Part 8 process with regard to Taylor’s Lane has not been concluded, and that he has given written assurances on numerous occasions that no decision to expend scarce financial resources will be spent until the Ombudsman has concluded her investigation and her report is taken into account; if he will give an assurance that he will put a stay on any financial transaction by his Department pertaining to this SDCC Part 8 process pending the outcome of the Ombudsman’s investigation; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that no contract has been signed and therefore no financial liability exists; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that SDCC withheld pertinent statutory information from his Department when it applied for financial support; if he will release all correspondence and a record of all contact between SDCC and his Department and his ministerial predecessor; if he will meet with an association of residents (details supplied) who risk losing their conditioned open space; and if he will explain to them the reason they might lose their open space because public servants are not doing their job, not carrying out financial oversight, not keeping up with the challenging economic times and not taking into account that in the SDCC area there is a glut of empty and incomplete houses, that the statutory processes no longer apply and that all this is to be funded by the IMF-ECB, for which residents such as they will have to pay.
